did anyone see the latest score from the "Esper" folks on ebay?  A 6 CD set called the "Retirement" Edition! The track's seem pretty rare. Though the names above are different from some of the names in the "Retirement" edition.

I also think there's no new material in this bootleg. Looks like the "new" stuff is simply taken from the Trilogy's 2nd CD and the "2019 Edition" bootleg.

The only thing that draws my attention is that «Blade Runner Blues no longer has a pitch change at around 8:30 and has improved sound quality».

As far as I know, the 10-minute full length BR Blues is only available in medium sound quality from Gongo and OffWorld bootlegs. Esper bootleggers have simply mixed the low-fi Gongo/OffWorld ending into the incomplete but high-quality 1994 official version - the result stinks: indeed the sound turns crappy after 8:30. It hurts my ears everytime I hear this!!!

So does this mean THE original, high-quality recording of the full-length BR Blues has popped up? Would be great (I'm dying for it), but honestly I doubt it. Never heard of such material leaking anytime anywhere. Most likely it's just another amateurish mix of the two above mentioned sources... :-(

What is your opinion Focuspuller?
